    Problem: PVE 8 migrating a replicated VM causes the VM to get 3-10x less IOPS

    Didn't know how to label this issue really. I couldn't find any similar post on the forums either. Two identical DELL servers, same specs. I am running PVE 8.0.4, updated to latest version. Servers are in a cluster (no QDevice yet, it's being prepared and is in testing at the moment). I have HW...

    Ceph uses false osd_mclock_max_capacity_iops_ssd value

    Hello everyone, I recently installed Ceph into my 3 node cluster, which worked out great at first. But after a while I noticed that the Ceph Pool would sometimes hang and stutter. Thats when I looked into the Configuration and saw this: I use 3 exactly the same SSDs, checked if every node uses...

    [SOLVED] Dynamically set Disk (virtio0) limits using CLI (pvesh/qm)

    Hi, whenever I set disk limits using pvesh or qm command line tools, the setting is not applied immediately. Instead, the new setting turns orange in the web UI meaning that it will be applied at the next reboot. If I set the parameters directly in the web UI, they are immediately applied with...

    60 IOPS in windows VM with VIRT-IO SCSI, is this normal?

    Hello everyone, I'd like to start by saying that I'm new-ish to ProxMox and especially new to server hardware. I recently got my hands on a HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen9 tower server without storage. The specs of the server are 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v4 CPUs, 32gb of ram (16gb per CPU), and a...

    CephFS vs VirtIO SCSI Write IOPS

    Hi, I've been testing our Proxmox Ceph cluster and have noticed something interesting. I've been running fio benchmarks against a CephFS mount and within a VM using VirtIO SCSI. CephFS on /mnt/pve/cephfs - root@pve03:/mnt/pve/cephfs# fio --name=random-write --ioengine=posixaio --rw=randwrite...

    VMs performing poorly

    Hello there, I'm currently working with resolving some performance issues on a Proxmox installation. There is a ZFS array on the network which is hosting the VMs, and the behavior is strange. Currently, the server is hosting 3 Windows 10 VMs with the configuration shown in the attached image...

    Cluster resource usage per VM?

    Hi everyone! as far as I know, proxmox doesn't have a tool which shows overall cluster or at least server resource usage per VM/CT. For example, cluster experiences performance degradation and I want to see if there is any VM/CT which is using to many IOPS and RAM, what would be the easiest way...

    ZFS Raid 10 vs SW Raid 10

    Hey guys, im using Proxmox a really long time now, but im still getting confused when "zfs" joins the club. I got a few questions, which i hope some of you can answer. I moved from unRAID in home server use away, because of lesser read and write IO performance, because i plan to nested...

    I have a HP P2000 G3 ISCSi shared storage atached to my proxmox cluster via LVM. When i move a vdisk from local lvm storage (local disk on the nodo) to the shared storage i have an IOPS saturation on it. I tried to limit the interface bandwith via the Datacenter.cfg file but the problem still...
